Defining Love

How does a blind man know he has married the most beautiful woman in the world?

How does a woman who can not speak communicate her deepest heart felt thoughts or feelings?

How does a child show adoration for their mother who brought them into the world?

Simple…love.

Approach someone in the next few days and ask them to define love.

Most likely they will start off energetically, describing a feeling, an emotion, a past experience or a future dream for a relationship.

But within a few sentences they will become speechless…because no one can adequately define love.

And the closer we approach Valentine’s Day, millions of dollars will be spent by people trying to demonstrate it.

Valentine’s Day is my second favorite holiday of the year.

I enjoy reading love stories, quotes and listening to memories that people hold dear.

With all the many, many books, songs, speeches, movies, etc. written or produced regarding this subject, who has been able to fully define the depth of love?

No one.

If asked to define love my answer would be, “I can not. I do not have the depth of understanding, nor the grasp of language to be able to describe something so precious.”

It is a…no…let me say it this way…uh…it seems to be a heart felt…hmm…that’s not it…it is the…

See what I mean?

Ask your friends to help you define love.

It will be an interesting topic.

Oh, I almost forgot…my favorite holiday?

Good Friday.

Not everyone’s top pick for a day of celebration.

Many would name others as their favorite, but for me, Valentine’s Day came on Good Friday, when Christ stretched out His arms, with blood oozing out of his body. revealed His heart, and showed just how much He truly loved me.
